Chick #3 - 22.5.21 (35 days) The third chick has hatched at Loch of the Lowes

Absolutely delighted to have watched three precious eggs being laid. Laddie and NC0 have perfected their incubation duties and, through trying times during April, defended them and the nest from multiple intruding Ospreys. Hopefully, it will not be too long until we see three chicks being cared for by their super parents.
IMAGICAT
From what I have seen when scrolling through today's footage so far, there have been multiple feeds and the chicks have turned away from fish that NC0 has offered at the end of each one
Taken at 17:00 - both chicks have very full crops!
17:33 Laddie has come to the nest and is eating the remainder of the fish from the last feed (16:55)

Laddiie had some fish in his beak and attempted to offer it to chick #2 who was lying in front of NC0
17:41 NC0 has now claimed the fish; Laddie has flown. Neither chick is interested in eating
NC0 joined in with the chipping.
Laddie left the nest when he saw another Osprey land on the birch. A chase ensued after he flushed it from the tree
Intruder in flight on the right, Laddie left of centre
18:07 NC0 has taken a break, as must I. BBL
Awww!
